Volume 2 — Transcriber's Note

Reading edition

Page headers in the original text indicated the location of the author. I have converted these to sidenotes. When the location did not change over several pages, only one sidenote was used.

Footnotes have been moved to the end of the book.

Inconsistencies have been retained in spelling, hyphenation, punctuation, and grammar, except where indicated in the list below:
